There is much to admire in this concerto. It's pianistic and wonderfully lyrical. Thanks so much for posting.

Tan bello es ese Concierto de Paderewsky que aún con errores en la ejecución no deja de ser bello
Wonderfully exuberant and communicative: an astonishingly brilliant performance. Thank you so much for sharing.
Bellísima interpretación del concierto en la menor de Paderewsky. Deslumbrante.
Excellent
This is quite a beautiful concerto. Thank you for sharing it.
Yes . Big thanks . It a nice tribute to a very famous pianist .
Magnífico!!!!!
Great!
bravo!
I must study it;)
I think it's great:)
Wonder 🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵
Wonderful
I think everyone did a good job too .
Indeed . Wish I was there to hear it live .
超絶技巧を求めていないがスクリャービンのピアノ協奏曲みたいに心地良く心揺さぶらせてくれる名曲だ。
So amazingly similar in my ways to MacDowell.
I wonder what group this is. Around 24:25, horrible intonation in the violins. But the pianist is spot-on. Love this concerto!
I'm hardly a musician (only just taken up the violin) but even I picked up on that via my headphones while distracted with some computer work... A real 'eurgghh' moment. Otherwise a lovely piece. Listening to it again after hearing it on Classic FM this evening...
💖💖👏
Sadly, extra beautiful romanza was played out of tune in most important phrases and with missed notes in orchestra part... It's a pity, we don't have many recordings of this Paderewski amazing concerto and we almost don't have good recordings of this piece...
Good for posterity
There is an excellent recording by Piers Lane and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Jerzy Maksymiuk on the Hyperion label. The coupling is Moszkowski's E major Concerto.
I have a recording on vinyl from the 1970s...I think Rubinstein is the pianist. The album cover is a pastoral scene in shades of yellow. I've since digitized it, scratches and all. I love it.
Hay muy poca música de Paderewki. Pongan más 🇮🇷🆗❤️
I wonder which piano concerto is given the fewest performances?
The concertos never performed!!
@@MichaelConwayBaker Please name them.
es el padre wiski dijo el chavo
Oups ... à 24:40 et suivantes, l'orchestre dérape .. dommage, un si beau concerto
That part sounds even funny, which is sad
The pianist is good but the orchestra is poor. Paderewski's glorious concerto deserves better. Poor camerawork.
... not to mention the bloody applause between the movements.
Never performed in the Netherlands in the Concertgebouw.I guess. Poor public to applaud in between the movements!!
I'd always prefer too much applause to too little. Chill out.
@@bomcabedal the main idea is that applause between movements might bring unnecessary chaos to the soloist and the orchestra alike you need to be focused 100% otherwise you might make a mistake or have a memory slip
@@mateuszkozieja7537 It was quite common before 1900 though. Probably more to do with the establishment of classical music as "High Culture".
@@bomcabedal yes most likely because of that establishmemt. Performers got used to no disturbance and l agree that performance should be more open to contact with the audience
@@mateuszkozieja7537 That's a very good point: a new consensus creates its own "normal". The issue is that current concert practice creates an almost sacred atmosphere around the performance, which increases distance with the audience. This may work sometimes, but it also makes classical music as a whole rather impenetrable to casual listeners. In the end, it's just an unnecessary threshold. And unfortunately, one upheld by a horde of gatekeepers.
Poor camerawork indeed.First time i hear this concerto on You Tube! Never performed in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam I guess! Who can help me if ever so and in between the movements applause. Unheard in the Netherlands.
It's lovely, but somehow it doesn't stick in the mind. And it has to be said that the orchestra is not the most refined in the world. Wonderful pianism, though - and I for one would rather see his face than his hands (and I'm a pianist). Thanks for posting.
I think this was a fake performance. The pianist didn't actually play the piano but there were two speakers at his feet which were playing the music...............at least that's what I came away with due to the very poor job done by the videographer. What a shame that a great performance by Machnacki wasn't seen playing the keyboard throughout most of the performance. What was the video people thinking? I saw more of the other instruments being played than I did of the hands playing the keyboard. The pianist was the star performer at this concert and unfortunately he was not highlighted. This type of video coverage is becoming more the norm in these days as the videographers seem to want to put on their show and the artist's performance becomes secondary. When I go to a concert I want to see the hands play the piano. This I did not see in this performance.
Absolutely agreed. This whole video is an elaborately stitched together digital farce. The string players are clearly faking it too, as well as the pianist. It is very suspicious that the fingers of the pianist is barely seen. Actually, it is rumoured Kondad Olszewski only has 6 fingers making this nigh on impossible to play. Moreover, upon closer inspection it is clear that the conductor is actually holding a chopstick making his timing and credibility as a musician extremely questionable.
Did you not see the hammers and strings moving inside the piano? There were no hidden speakers! I agree that this was badly videoed, but if you took the trouble to check, you would see that this was an amateur performance by a community orchestra who did a sterling job with a very difficult piece. I think it's a shame that you feel the need to be derogatory - perhaps you're a thwarted wannabe pianist?
The movement of the hammers hitting the strings could have been a result of a player piano. My comment was in humor but I was making a point. You missed that part. This was not derogatory but a message to the novice videographer who filmed this great performance. People attend these kinds of events to see the artist play the keyboard, plain and simple. Otherwise we might as well just listen to the audio recording. To me this was not being respectful to the pianist.
First of all, the soloist of this concert is Konrad Olszewski not Machnacki !!! Konrad is an Australian pianist of the Polish descent. Secondly, the recording is not professional and has only to commemorate the event of the Polish festival in Australia, PolArt2015. The concert was organized on the 111th Anniversary of Paderewski's performance exactly on the same stage, Melbourne Town Hall. The concert program was much broader. In the first part, Paderewski's repertoire from 1904 was repeated in part. The pianist was accompanied by Zelman Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mark Shiell, as in the description. In my opinion, it is not necessary to see the pianist's hands to hear but we will fix this inconvenience in the next recording. Paderewski's concert will be repeated soon. June 1, 2018 Sydney Town Hall. You're welcome!
As I stated previously my comments were said in jest. Maybe I should have been more straightforward and said what I really think. My point is that when a viewer watches any venue be it sports, music, plays, etc. when there is a key performer we want to see the performer's abilities. I don't want to view a soccer game where all I see is the player's head bobbing up and down. I don't want to watch a band play where the camera is never focused on important solos by the various instruments. Imagine viewing a band where a drummer does a solo and all we are shown is his head moving up or down. What I've seen lately and this has been true for many classical piano competitions is that the videographer wants to put on their own show and not focus on what the audience wants. Check out the last Cliburn competition and you will plainly see what I mean. Prime seating in any concert hall is on the "keyboard side" and for a reason which is the audience wants to see the pianist playing the piano and NOT from a dozen or so different angles. Just show us the pianist playing. Very simple. Otherwise do an MP3/MP4 audio recording so we just listen to the music. That's basically what we saw in this video which to me was an insult to the pianist.
Utwór wyjątkowy. Niestety solista i orkiestra zaliczyła całą masę wpadek.
ew
Very musical and pleasing, unlike his bombastic and ugly B minor Symphony.
Orchestra in the final part is absolutely out of tune and out of tempo...
